"Terrorism is not just a threat to Somalia, but to the whole world. We reiterate our full support to the operations conducted by the Somali forces and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) against Al Shabaab and that the international community must continue to stand behind Somalia in its fight against terrorism," read the statement.
